Recommended wine: Chianti, Montepulciano, Sangiovese

Chianti, Montepulciano, and Sangiovese are great choices for Lasagne. Lasagna pairs well with medium-bodied red wine with higher acidity. Sangiovese, Montepulciano, and Chianti all fit the bill. The Casan Emma Chianti Classico with a 4.8 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 21 dollars per bottle.
